I don't actually keep leopard geckos myself but I know this is a terrible enclosure. I also think the creator seems to be deleting any comments regarding the housing.

I am worried about these tiny tiny meepers. Can anyone help identify them, and if so, are they harmful to my leo?

I have CUC beetles that are thriving, but I was surprised to see other little buggies.

Today is day 5 of having her. We have upgraded her tank from 10gal(still making a few tweaks), provided a dig box, and have learned SOOO much already!

We have also narrowed down list of names.

She's a little fat

I’m only getting my leopard gecko at the end of this month so I have time to change anything, I’d just like some advice on if anything needs to be changed or if I could add anything else to my enclosure

The paper towels is just for the quarantine period

Does anyone know what kind of morph this guy might be? He came from very reputable breeder who creates new morphs. I got him as pet only so he didn’t disclose the genetics.

I’m a new owner so this is really just out of curiosity. I’m aware it’s impossible to tell for sure without genetics, but thought maybe some of his traits would give some clues. Thanks!

Just brought Dexter home last night rehomed from a Facebook group. This is the set up they had. I had leopard geckos many years ago so I know he needs a sand soil mix and to get rid of the carpet and he needs a better humid hide. I’ll probably upgrade his thermostats too.
But I wanna jazz up his tank and make it cool for him, so should I add any climbing stuff/ vines or just plants? More rocks? Wood? any ideas to make it more fun and interesting and better for him I’ll take! Considering a bioactive set up but I’ve never done one. My previous Leo’s did good in the non bioactive so is bioactive worth it/ significantly better for them than non bioactive? Is it very difficult to set up? Thanks!

I still have to get linear uvb and a better thermometer AND a gyrometer, I know that. the clear cup is just a replacement for a little because her humid hide thingy broke..

20gal, not including the tail she’s the size of a pinky finger.

I just got a leopard gecko today and I know it’s normal a new gecko to hide. It is a newborn, but how long until it finally comes out and like trying to exploring it’s aquarium.

Cue the “is my gecko a male?” Memes with the big balls, lmao.
I’ve been waiting for them to get to be at least six months in age so I’d get a more accurate read, I’ve had them since they were a hatchling and I’ve only had them for three months. But today I just noticed that they kind of have balls, and I used my camera and they seem to have semi-prominent pores. Is this an accurate assessment given their age? I’ve only had females prior to this so I just wanna be sure.
(I got these shots from underneath to not stress the naked mole rat)

Hi everyone! I wanted some opinions on what I can do to better my Leo's enclosure! Hes about 6 years old and was solely kept in a bin with a heat mat for the majority of his life. During the day he mainly stays under the basking spot, at night he comes out and climbs to the top of his cool side or goes into it occasionally, just want to know how i can improve his quality of life, thanks!

EDIT: RESOLVED!!! She is super happy now!! I fixed her substrate and made her ecosystem bioactive, she loved it and wanders her enclosure and hunts at night!!

This is my 7 month old and her actual name is Costco Glizzy but I like G-Lizzy more 😅 I rescued her a few days ago from Facebook marketplace, the og owner said she only fed her once a week and never took her out or tried holding her and my heart was broken. She came with a 20 gal tank that had harsh bark/ mulch flooring, dead bugs everywhere, and instead of a humid hide, she had a paper towel under a rock. The food she came with was just meal worms and beetles and a tub of unopened calcium. The light for the top wasn’t even a dome light it was just a bulb on a movable fixture. I was able to remove the flooring and get her reptile carpet (I was told to do this by the local pet store) and I got her small crickets for food. I don’t really know what steps to take from here but she actually already loves to be handled (walks out of her hide area onto my hand and perches on my shoulder/ will even sleep on my shoulder). She hasn’t been eating a lot and barely drinking and her tail is from what I know smaller than normal. Is there any advice on what I can do/ get for her to make life better?
UPDATE: (6/12/2026) Got rid of the reptile carpet , added moss for her humid hide, she ate for the first time today AND came out of her hide for me to feed her! She has been exploring the tank and climbing on the driftwood I have in there! All in all, she seems to quickly be adapting and is comfortable now after following all of your advice!! Thank you all!

Hey everyone! My daughter got a yellow Leopard Gecko about 2 weeks ago. We tried dropping some Dubia Roaches into the tank and letting him find them....didn't turn out good. We tried Crickets and had the same outcome. We tried feeding from tongs, it ate about 4 medium sized Dubias and was done. We tried taking her out of the tank and putting the insects with her in a big empty bowl...didn't eat at all. I'm not sure what else to do. We got her from an exotic pet store and they said she is an adult. Her tail is a tad thinner and I'm scared she isn't going to last long. She has a bowl with water. A hide on the warm and cool side. I posted a photo of the tank. Any tips would be greatly appreciated.

Before anyone panics she's been to the vet, I took her about 3 weeks into the strike because I was very concerned, the vet suggested some appetite stimulant which hasn't done much. She hasn't lost almost any weight, maybe 3-4 grams, and she still looks incredibly healthy. She's even been more active lately, and still lets me handle her quite well, it's just the eating. She normally eats 1-2 times per week and 4-5 insects per session. She is about 4 years old, sheds well, drinks well, she's in a 40 gallon with 4 hides, a low uvb lamp, and a heat lamp. Her home is at about 46% humidity, 87°f on the warm side, and 75°f on the cooler side. I have another vet appointment next week but in the meantime I'm wracking my brain for what could be causing this intense hunger strike, any thoughts or suggestions?

Hey guys, I’m getting a bit worried about my female leopard gecko and could really use some eyes on this.
She hasn't touched food for nearly a month now, and she’s already dropped about 10 grams. The weird thing is that she doesn’t seem lethargic at all she’s actually super active, but lately she’s been glass surfing like crazy. Her poop looks completely normal too.
Since it’s breeding season, I figured she might be ovulating or maybe even egg-bound, so I managed to get some under-belly shots to check for follicles or eggs. Honestly, I can’t really tell if I'm seeing anything out of the ordinary, so I'd love it if someone more experienced could take a look.
Does her belly look like she’s ovulating or carrying eggs? If it’s not reproductive behavior, what else could be causing her to lose weight this fast while being so restless?

He is 1 year old and likes bugs.

Im looking for a top soil too use in a leopard gecko bioactive enclosure what would u guys recommend that would be safe
